Preferably a lower resolution, as there is a tradeoff between pixels and performance occurring. Click it, and select a resolution WITHOUT a lightning bolt next to it. After installing properly, you should see a little screen icon in the top right of your screen on your toolbar.(If you use the DMG, you will have to open finder, look on the left for RDM, and click the PKG file in there).
